Handy Items To Have In Your Titan

[Titan XE]

How about a little feedback on what items you are actually carrying right now in your Titan. Most of the stuff I'll list is something that I needed at one time or another while driving or away from home but did not have. The following I keep concealed either under the seats, glove box, armrest console or in only 1 milk crate tied to back left corner of the bed: cell phone, e-z pass, pens, paper, cd's, hand held working flashlight, penlight, cheap power port light with 10 ft. cord from the $1 store, socket set, 1 slotted & 1 phillips head screwdriver, cresent wrench, wire cutters, matches, lighter, bottle opener, utility knife, decent tow rope with metal end hooks, bungee cords, jumper cables, flares, about 30' of thick rope, thin rope, tissues, umbrella, map, rain poncho with hood, Slim Jim (not the one you eat!), flat tire plug kit, portable air compressor, tire pressure guage, rubber gloves, work gloves, rags, wd-40, 2 blankets, 2 ice scrapers, duct tape, sunglasses, power bars, gum, disposable wipes, disposable urine bag & always at least 1 bottled water. Thats about all of it. If you pack it right you will never know the stuff is there. The payoff here will one day make you happy or even save a life!

Great starter list...but remember dual use items...Urine bag? Empty water bottles work fine, or just step out...

Gotta go out now and take an inventory of all the stuff I've put in the Titan!

I'll be back!

I carry a disposable camera. Never know when you'll need it. Accidents, etc..

[BCTitan]

D@%n, I only have about 8-9 items out of that list--I counted sunglasses twice, since I keep two pair in the truck. Maybe in a couple of years I can figure out how to pack that well--my wife complains about how I pack my clothes for trips.....

[Kronos1965]

Titan XE's got it about right! (Anyone who has Underdog as the Avatar HAS to be smart!)

I also include a sand ladder for traction, a power inverter, fire extinguishers, safety glasses, emergency strobes, and a disposable camera...

Don't think that stuff is useful? I just helped a mom today open her car door after she accidentally locked it with her baby inside! (Don't have a slim jim) I used a pair of hose clamps to open the door from the inside.

The disposable camera & fire extinquisher is a great idea. The disposable urine bag was actually in my coat pocket for hunting purposes. Did not want to fowl my nesting area! The bag was left in the Titan and is not a necessary item. I left out 6 spare .38 cal. rounds kept in an old orange perscription drug bottle in case of terrorist activity on the George Washington, Throgs Neck or Tappanzee Bridges and in case I am packing! Then again Titan is certainly capable of 100+mph over any bridge in seconds to flee danger! I also forgot to add some of those listed items are discreeted in the door storage areas.

In addition to the items listed above I carry a trusted Leatherman tool, condoms, advil, calculator, winshield screen, backup cigars (gotta condoms and cigars! ) a zippo lighter, zippo lighter fluid, Large head smashin Mag light, koozee, spare checkbooks.

And when I travel, I add an additional toolbox, a full case of bottled water, a 9mm w/ 3 mags(15 rd) and extra ammo, Combat knife, and Remington 870 12 ga. shotgun. Oh yeah, and gotta have extra smokes....it's just like going to the field in the Army. I'll be damned if I shuold get stuck in BFE and run outta smokes.

[TOK]

A cell phone, a small case of metric tools, a credit card and Ol' Blasty.


If I was going on a long trip, I might also carry a spare quart of oil, jumper cables and serpentine belt (I've got in the habit of throwing the old belt behind the seats of my vehicles when I put on a new one so I have a spare that can get me home). If I was going offroad, I'd carry more extensive tools, like a better jack, something to start a fire and a rifle if it was deep boonies.
I had to wean myself from carrying too much junk as I transitioned from beaters to decent vehicles. I used to have spare plugs, distributor caps, gallons of anti-freeze, it was bad.

Nice 1911A1 ! Also, a nice lookin AK from what I can see. Russian? Romanian?

[Cominatcha]

Ive got knives, Socket set, GPS, power inverter, screwdriver, little mag lite, tourqe wrench, a first aid kit (a must for any offroad adventures), lots of cambuckle straps, bungee, and some other junk i cant think of. but this thread has reminded me that i dont have a lighter in the truck. wish i could pack some firearms in the truck but i live in socal.
